Chapter 209 – The First Winter Snow in Flower Town
Early morning of the 13th of December.
For the fruit-stealing monkeys, the first snow of the year also came with the arrival of their new members. The monkeys that the Lord had ordered haven"t arrived yet, but three of the pregnant monkeys gave birth to monkey babies. There were four all in all, with one mama monkey giving birth to twins.
Perhaps Flower Town really is a place of the knights" glory. All four monkey infants survived.
They could see the first snow in Flower Town mix with the whistling north wind.
"Skreeeek!!"
"Skreeeek!!"
The monkeys have their own words to cheer the arrival of the snow. When the snowfall comes, the coconut tree will stop growing and no coconut will mature anymore-something they knew very well since they have been eating the coconut fruit all year round.The coconuts will no longer mature which means they won"t have to work this winter.
Unfortunately.
This idea is ridiculous. In the early morning, Giggs, the manager of the training field, took out some fake coconuts and started training the monkeys day after day.
“Sir Baron will buy more monkeys. By then, this group of fruit-stealing monkeys will be imitated by the new monkeys, so everyone, you must train your monkeys well to make a good fruit-stealing monkey example!” Giggs yelled, In the training ground, he enjoyed the authority of leadership.
Several other fruit farmers listened to him.
“The female monkey I trained can no longer be trained today. It has to feed its children.”
“Then you go shovel some snow.”
“Why shovel snow? We don"t shovel snow every year. It is better to stay in the house.” A fruit farmer said indifferently.
Giggs said angrily, “Correct your att.i.tude. The Adviser Gort has announced to the town that all farms and workshops must shovel the snow in front of their doors and training area. After the job is finished there, the snow on the nearby roads must be shoveled as well! You idiot, do you dare to disobey the orders of the Adviser? “
The fruit farmer certainly didn"t dare to disobey, but he dared to complain to Giggs. “Why don"t you say it earlier? If you said it earlier, I won"t have let snow pile up in the training ground!”
He grumpingly took his broom and began to sweep some snow.
The snow only started last night so the pile was not so thick, it could be swept off with a broom.
Just like the fruit-stealing monkey training, the whole town began a mighty snow shoveling battle at dawn. The patrolmen banged on gongs and went from house to house to urge the serfs to get up and shovel snow—the snow on the road must be removed first to prevent delays in the carriages and construction in the territory.
They were destined not to be calm this winter.
In the castle and in the administrative office, meetings have been held to work out the projects to be built in winter.

“Ahhhhhhhhh! “
Stretching, Lister was a bit reluctant to get out of bed.
It began snowing last night, and the temperature had fallen to the point where he needed a coat, so he covered himself with a cotton quilt – an earth knight was resistant to cold and heat, but no knight was foolish enough to freeze himself and thus needed a warm quilt.
However, with strong willpower, he resisted the bed"s temptation and got up to open the door.
The servant and maid outside were waiting early.
Thomas, the servant, waited for him to dress, while the maid was responsible for cleaning the room.
“Master, good morning.” Thomas saluted while he presented Liszt with a leather jacket.
Lily holding a bucket, a handle and a mop bowed to Liszt as well. “Good morning, sir.”
“Good morning.”
Liszt was now accustomed to being a.s.sisted while dressing . He carefully groomed himself in the mirror and hurriedly left the bedroom to walk the dog outside.
Before he left the house, he heard a “Woow!” “Woow!”. Ella, the thorn Elf, flew out of the wormhole and went out with him.
Liszt smiled and touched Ella"s small head. “Ella, I"ll show you snow.”
“Wow!” Ella"s eyes opened wide. It was curious about it because it had never seen snow. This was the first time it had seen snow since its birth.
As soon as it came out of the castle"s door, it flew around excitedly, poking the snow on the ground, trees and windows.
“Wooooooow!”
Tremblingwoods stood at the door of the kennel and was also excited and barking. It was also the first time he had seen snow. However, he should have already seen it since last night. But he probably knew that since Liszt was around, he could have more fun.
Liszt unhooked Tremblingwoods" leash.
The mid-level magical beast who was raised to be a watchdog flew out like a single arrow, wagging his head and tail in the snow and playing.
Splat!
A small s...o...b..ll fell on Tremblingwoods" head. Ella followed Liszt and formed a s...o...b..ll to engage in a s...o...b..ll fight. But it had very small hands, and the s...o...b..ll was even smaller.
Seeing that Tremblingwoods ignored it, it became furious and raised its hand to sow the seeds.
But the telepathic Liszt felt the emotion and immediately stopped its behavior. “Ella, play with snow, do not scatter seeds.”
The sprite"s energy was enough to make it plant a tree in Thorns Ridge.
It made a huge s...o...b..ll, threw it and landed on Tremblingwoods head. It was dumbfounded and started to turn around. He didn"t know who it was. A few seconds later, its attention shifted and began rolling in the snow.
The snow was so thin. With a single press, the snow would melt and reveal the gra.s.s underneath.
It was supposed to be "rolling in snow", but it is actually "rolling in gra.s.s".
It"s childish behavior, but given that it"s not yet one year old, it was normal.
With tremblingwoods and Ella playing in the snow, Liszt began his daily routine. The plan for a day lies in the morning, and the plan for a lifetime lies in diligence.If you want to become a flying sky knight, and be called holy with a sword, you must pay with hard work and sweat.
After the qi practice cla.s.s, Liszt returned to the castle to take a bath and change into formal n.o.ble clothes.
He asked the servant to move the dining table to the window. He would have breakfast leisurely and admire the view of the servants shoveling snow. This solemnity he only found in the countryside is something he could not have enjoyed before crossing. Of course, the prosperous charm of a modern civilization is also unmatched by this backward world.
Liszt sometimes asks himself if he was given a choice now, would he go back to his original life or stay as a n.o.bleman?
If this was two months ago, he would most certainly choose to go back.
Now, he would not hesitate to stay and continue his unfinished dragon riding career.
“It"s just that I miss the soy milk fritters, and the porridge buns … By the way, why don"t I let Mrs. Abby and Rainer of the bakery ""invent ” the bun? ”
Like pasta, it was made with wheat and water, but it was more than just bread.
Steamed bread, buns, rolls, dumplings, ravioli, noodles, flatbread, fried dough sticks, wonton, roasted wheat, ramen, these are all common pasta dishes. Although Lister was originally a southerner and didn"t eat much pasta, dumplings and buns were clearly more in line with his taste than eating bread every day.
